The basic steps for constructing a model consist of:

• Building the model framework in Documenter
• Writing a view to read source data into the model using SAMM
• Evaluating the model in SAMM

For beginners to TOOL and multidimensial arrays this process outlined above can be challenging, as it can be hard to visualize how the multidimensional arrays are being constructed and manipulated as objects are created, reorder and mapped into different shapes during the construction of the models framework as no data is being passed through the model at this point.

However there is a technique that you can use to read data through Documenter for interactive/prototyping/testing purposes. This technique is similar to writing a view (add link to view writing here) however with some some subtle differences.
